Students often have diverse passions but no means to explore them especially if it is not related to their specialisation. The Independent Study Period (ISP) is a flagship programme that offers students a chance to explore their passion, dive deeply into a field of interest, and gain rich immersive experience and go beyond the classroom, making their academic learning truly interdisciplinary and their conceptual understanding more experiential.
ISP courses are rooted in disciplines like Literature, Sociology, Design, Science, Technology, Heritage, Humanities and Languages, and more, but cut across areas and specialisations. Rather than following the regular curricular period format, these courses are offered in an 8-hours-a-day format enabling concentrated learning for students through block courses, studio-inspired experiential courses, perspective, skill building and field courses, innovative experiments in learning, and more.
